I feel well supported during this course, in the materials, admin support, and tutor support.

Overall the course was very informative and what is a big plus for me is using the materials as regular form CPD in keeping the most important aspects of CBT at the forefront of my support of patients.

Trlma L, 228 days ago

I enjoyed the course and look forward to moving into the next section and learning more. The online aspect very convenient give I work. My tutor Dr Murphy was prompt and gave good feedback. I would recommend a more concise and clear 1-2 page document on expectations for assessments, assignments and dates, with clear documentation and labelling, separate to other materials, as I found this information a little disjointed to find. Otherwise very enjoyable module.

Christopher C, 245 days ago

Course content and materials very clear and concise, providing information relevant to tasks. Well worth the journey! Overall, I would rate the course excellent!

Mark H, 326 days ago

The course material is presented in a great and easy to understand way. The colourful pictures and diagrams enhance the course material. The content of the material was interessting and keeps one engaged without it being overwhelming, it is a great mix. It is great to have a tutor assigned to a student where one can get help and support and ask questions. I appreciated my tutor`s feedback on my assignments. And I particularly appreciated the clarifications regarding the TMA and the word count for each different section, and help to clarify the referencing system.

Caroline T, 339 days ago

The course materials made sense and explained what was required throughout. My tutor (Marie Murphy) was really engaging throughout and very supportive when I asked questions and probed into next steps etc. If/when I sign up for my next course I would ask for Marie to be my tutor again.

Nick A, 1 year ago

this course was very beneficial in learning how CBT works and how i can implement this type of therapy into to my practice as a therapist. my tutor was very helpful in answering any questions i had and with honest feedback for my work. After doing this course i feel confident enough to carry out CBT therapy as part of my integrated work.

Certificate in Couple and Family Counselling Skills

I found the course easy to navigate with lots of practice questions and examples. The materials provided were sufficient and relevant to the topics. I particularly enjoyed the understanding and application of theory into practice through the assignments and practice questions. Mairi, was very helpful with her feedback highlighting key areas of satisfactory application of knowledge . This helped me understand the need to understand the case and apply relevant principle in practice

Certificate in Christian Counselling

I really enjoyed the course and want to carry on with course 2400 to level 4. I expected to get a bit more support from my tutor tbh, like a quick call or messaging back and forth a bit more, but her feedback was valuable and to the point. I think the assignment 5 wording can be improved. It was not very clear and I got marked as C which was upsetting. I’d have done a much better job, had the instructions been clearer. Happy to be corrected. Thanks.

Daniela S, 17 days ago

Dear Marie, thank you very much for the feedback and insights I have gained in this course (through you).

Marie was very helpful and advice offered readily via email or zoom. I would have preferred more interactive online work but other than that the course work easy to follow.

Melanie C, 32 days ago

Certificate in Grief and Bereavement

Having returned to learning I found that learning on-line was initially quite difficult. Personally in the early stages when it took me some time to get into my stride a telephone call from the institute to inquire how things were going would have been supportive. My tutor was very supportive and encouraging.

Kim B, 38 days ago

Hannah B, 43 days ago

Certificate in Grief and Bereavement

The course really helped me get myself together. I registered for a course soon after losing my brother and I was going through a hard time. The tutor was really helpful in guiding and giving me some direction throughout the course
